Support Wild ARC

The BC SPCA Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC) treated 3,066 wild animals last year. From delicate hummingbirds to majestic eagles, and playful river otters to mischievous raccoons, we’re here to help our local wildlife when they run into trouble. We depend on the support of compassionate animal-lovers like you to save so many animals. There are many ways that you can support us. As a registered charity, you can get a tax receipt for your donation.

Donating online to support the care of our wild patients is fast and simple. Your generosity will help buy food and medical supplies for animals on the road to recovery. Looking to donate offline? Call us at 250-478-9453 to donate by phone, or mail us a cheque at 1020 Malloch Road, Victoria BC, V9C 4G9.

Supplies wish list

A basket of donated items from a supporter

It takes a variety of items to help our wildlife centre run smoothly. Take a look at supplies wish list (PDF) to find out what kind of food, animal care items, office supplies and cleaning products we need.

The items on our wish list are easy to collect at birthday parties or office celebrations, and bringing in a ‘gift basket’ of our most-needed items is a great way to show your support for local wildlife.

Choose your favourite wild animal – from songbirds or deer fawns to bats or owls – and support their recovery by funding a week of their care. Sponsorship certificates feature a special Wild ARC patient, as well as some fun species facts, and have space for the sponsor’s name. These certificates make a great gift – they are available as an instant digital download, or we can mail them directly to the recipient.

Our annual cage sponsorship program is a meaningful way for dedicated supporters, community groups or businesses to showcase their commitment to helping local wildlife. Sponsorship funds help maintain our enclosures all year long and sponsors will have their name (or the name of a chosen honoree) displayed on the cage. Some cage sponsorships are available online, or you can call us at 250-478-9453 for the full range of sponsorship opportunities.

Our creative supporters are always finding new ways to raise money to support wildlife in distress. Our BC SPCA Champions for Animals use special events or tap into their community connections to gather donations for their wild neighbours. Join the fun and use your unique skills to become a Champ!
